Because as much as calling myself an alcoholic makes me cringe right now, at the very least I can't deny there's a problem. And if I know it, isn't it already pretty official? What do I have to lose by trying something new to help myself? That's my line of thinking anyway.
Its sounds like courage to me! Its not easy to do what you did, by any stretch. I think connecting (and reconnecting) with people in early sobriety is so important and I'm really happy for you that you're taking the steps to do that.
